Cops were raced to the home at 11.52pm on December 31 and Melanie was tragically declared dead just 12 minutes into the New Year.

Neighbours said her two sons Sheldon, 22, and Slade, 19, came home around an hour later and were given the crushing news.

Gareth Cole, 67, who lives three doors away, said: "I saw the two boys coming back in a taxi at around 1am, it looked like they had been to a party and didn't know what had happened."

Another said: "I saw the lads coming back in a taxi...it looked like one of them was in tears.
